Conversations with a Poet:

Inviting Poetry into K-12 Classrooms
by Betsy Franco

PREFACE

When I was a teacher and when I started writing poems, a poet’s explanation of the basics of poetry would have been very helpful.  In the following chapters, I share what I’ve learned about reading, writing, and teaching poetry because I have found that knowledge is power.

As a practicing poet, I am letting you in on the secrets that have taken me time to understand and that I know only from writing poems, day in and day out, and from discussing poetry with fellow poets.  I invite you to view poetry from a unique vantage point, from inside the mind of a poet who loves poetry.

 


from a teacher of poetry

The Kindergarten Book:
A Guide to Literacy Instruction
by Marilyn Duncan

 Please read the exceptional review published
in the National Kindergarten Alliance Newsletter, Winter 2012
 

"Occasionally a book comes to our attention that is authentic and has something for everyone.  Here is just such a book! ....

The pages of The Kindergarten Book are filled with examples of children's honest toil and teacher reflections as well as charts, lists, illustrations and rich appendices of forms, etc. with permission to duplicate for classroom use.  It is a must have for new teachers and a great refresher for experienced teachers."
